Complete Formal Verification of TriCore2 and Other Processors

This paper, first published at DVCon 2007, describes the application of OneSpin's 360 MV to the verification of the TriCore2 processor, Infineon's next generation high-end processor for embedded and safety-critical applications. Unlike other formal approaches, the employed methodology is a self-contained approach to hardware verification, independent of simulation. It systematically eliminates all gaps in the verification plan and in the property set and thus ensures that the IP is free of functional errors – the highest possible quality.
